Something more

[tvc15]

I'm looking for a little extra WOW and Punch and Im wondering what the next step up from the standard Grubee is?

I was looking at a Morini and a Dax GP50 but Im going to be putting this on a
1957 X53 Western Flyer

Here is what I am looking for, not sure I can get these
1) Kick Start or electric start
2) No pedals
3) Mo power

Should look like a motor without a lot of plastic, mo vintage mo better

I have some experience...

and have restored several bikes... came in third at ratrodbikes build off #6 had a jet on it

I understand structural integrity (realizing that the the Morini may task the structure of a 1950's frame)

Help, you forward to the awesomeness of this group- images enclosed

The pulse jet is a vintage DynaJet... They still make them today believe it or not!

They are FRICKEN LOUD, LOUD LOUD and they get as hot as the sun
